CW Nordics November 2016

In this quarter’s CW Nordics, we look at the impact of Nokia layoffs on Finland, and in particular the city of Espoo which is home to both Nokia and Microsoft’s Finnish headquarters.

In April 2016, Nokia announced 1,032 Finnish job cuts after its merger with French network giant Alcatel Lucent. At the same time, Microsoft scaled down its smartphone business globally and reduced its headcount in Finland by up to 1,350 employees. But in Tampere, a city affected by the cuts, there is a growing tech sector which is less dependent on the success of one big company. Read how the city has also been fast to react and in launched an international Tampere4ICT campaign to promote the fact it will have 1,000 experienced ICT professionals available.

Also in this issue read how Denmark-based audiovisual manufacturer Bang & Olufsen implemented cloud-based channel data management software, from Zyme, to get a clearer view of how its sales channels perform after the success of a new online business. B&O Play says it has no doubt this investment will bring value to the organisation, and plans are in place to include more retailers.

We also hear from Google cloud chief Diane Greene, as well as the CIOs of Norwegian bank DNB, Scandinavian Airlines and Swedish municipality Vara.
